Want more new material or old material on the tour? - Page 2

Since this might be the last BIG FM tour ever, I really think they should take this as an opportunity to give a gift of songs that either need to see the light of day again or have never been performed live.

SCREW THE HITS!!! I certainly don't need to hear "Rhiannon" for the billionth time.

To hear Stevie sing "Storms", "Races Are Run" or "Crystal" live would definitely do it for me!!!

The Tower · #17 02-26-2003, 05:59 PM

AND PLEASE GAWD- DO NOT DO "DREAMS"!!!!!!

Enough, already......

PenguinHead · #18 02-26-2003, 06:39 PM

Amen The Tower! Someone who agrees with me. Put Dreams to rest! Rhiannon is getting pretty green around the giles too. She has plenty of other classics that she hasn't performed in years...not to mention great songs she has never perfomed...not to mention she seems to have a lot of confidence in her new songs...hope she's not afraid to play them!! Lots of other possibilities to make everyone forget Dreams and other overplayed, should-be-out-to-pasture songs.

I can agree with euthanizing Dreams.. k, number 1.. we got it.. move on.

As for the rest.. I really don't have an opinion.. I like it all. BUT, I will be sad if I don't get to hear Go Your Own Way.. as it is my FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIME.

I wouldn't mind being able to sing along for a lot of the concert.. but I do want to hear some new. I, too, am hoping that they'll revive some old skool stuff. I'd love to hear some BN live!!

UH UH on a bunch of TISL.. it had its own damn tour already. I love Stevie and I love TISL.. but I want Mac this time 'round.

I agree ax Dreams. I have seen it over 20 times live and really do not care for the way she sings it these days. While were at it LB should boot GYOW. I hated the slowed down version on The Dance and he screamed it. I am sure I will get flamed for that one - but that is my opinion. Same goes for The Chain (bored of it and LB screams on it).

Now let's talk about World Turning. I hate Micks cr#p in it; he should instead charge for people to flock to see it on his website. I can hear the stampede now

. It takes like 20 minutes where four other songs could be. Finally, and most importantly, Chris is not there.

Instead, I would add Walk a Thin Line, Storms, That's Alright, Sara, TITN, I Don't Want to Know, Django/Races are Run, Crying in the Night, Eyes of the World, etc.

But, I understand they (and most of the paying public) do not want a concert set of songs they do not like to sing live (Sara) or songs that none oter than us

has ever really heard or can relate to on some level.

So, I am sure all the standards will be there. Worse things could happen I guess!!!

Did I mention Blue Letter

jmn3 · #22 02-26-2003, 08:52 PM

Oh no no no no no....if I finally get to see the Mac live, I *must* hear LB do GYOW!!!!! It is positively my favorite! Although, I say the same thing about Rhiannon, that it shouldbe booted, and I am sure there are Rhiannon-freaks out there that enjoy the song just as much as I do GYOW, no matter how it sounds.

Sorry but if the Lindsey freaks get to keep GYOW and ISA this freak gets to keep Rhiannon.....but I'm willing to part with Dreams!

LMAO!! You are right in saying you can't please everyone. We ALL wanna cut certain songs and leave in others.

I have ONE request...ISA!!!!!! If they do NOTHING else I want, THAT must STAY!!!!!!!!!! MY FAVE SONG EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to say this, and I'm a Lindsey fan ya'll (LOL), GYOW, yeah, not my fave song, live. I prefer it on Rumours, along with Dreams and Gypsy from Mirage. I do NOT think any of these songs are that great live, they are MAGICAL on their respective albums tho. PERFECTION!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm pretty open to the setlist, I mean, sure I am DYING to hear Tango in the Night, Frozen Love, RED ROVER (!!!!), Come, TWISTED (!), SOTM, Beautiful Child, Big Love...I could go on and on, but as long as I hear ISA, my life is COMPLETE!!!!

they would play something from the "Buckingham/Nicks" album (Preferably "Races Are Run")...Brian J.

OH YEAH!! I would love to hear "Frozen Love" and "Don't Let Me Down Again", both of which I think would be excellent live songs! How can they NOT play something from BN??

As far as the standards go - I think there are alot of standards that will fall by the wayside because of Christine's absence (Say You Love Me, etc.), but if I had to pick one of the standards to delete from the setlist I could do without "World Turning" - that whole drum freak out that Mick does just irritates me (especially on the Mirage concert video - I can't even watch that song anymore!).

My concern is that they will have Sheryl Crow fill in for Christine on her songs, and that will not make me very happy! I have no problem with Sheryl on Stevie's TISL, but she should stay separate from the Mac (I swear that is her doing backing vocals on the Peacekeeper MP3 . . . ugh).

I do love GYOW and The Chain, but NOT the way Lindsey sang them on The Dance tour. I agree with strandinthewind - hated Lindsey screaming GYOW - his voice was all over the place!! His voice just didn't sound like it was strong enough . . . JMO.

My favorites for the tour? Silver Springs, Storms, Blue Letter, Eyes of the World and Landslide - also anything from BN.

I think "Rhiannon" will always be in the setlist because of its significance - almost "too classic" to ever do without it. I think it has evolved better over time than "Dreams", which is getting kind of tired in my opinion.

PenguinHead · #27 03-02-2003, 02:33 PM

I find all the speculation, expectations, fears, demands, and wishful thinking here to be hilarious. I think it's highly unlikely that Sheryl Crow is going to perform with them to "fill in for Christine." The rumour that she was joining the band was just that...and a bizzare one at that. Let it go.

However, Sheryl is known for her many guest appearances...so it wouldn't be surprising to for her to pop up here and there. Stevie and Lindsey have plenty of songs to make for a satisfying concert. Why is there so much concern over which Christine songs will be played? It's a different band now!! Time to move on.

I can see them playing Don't Stop though, or some other appropriate song, as an acknowledgement of her contributions to the band...but having someone else sing her songs would make the band seem more like a lounge act. And the cringe factor would be high --- much like it was when I saw Bekka singing Say You Love Me and Gold Dust Woman.

I'm in total agreement with all of strandinthewind's comments - I hope your words are prophetic.

jwd · #29 03-02-2003, 06:00 PM

Hey look at this post and play "World Turning" real loud.........the nodding heads are grooving to this song!

Did I mention that I love this song......I hope they play it sans Mick's electric drum pads!

Amen to that! Mick, please leave that damn drum vest at home this time. I honestly don't think I can take that 15 minutes of insanity again! If he does do it, at least I'll know when to make a beer run/bathroom break...
